The USA basketball stars also lost the bronze medal at the World Cup in Asia two days after their semi-final defeat against Germany. In the match for third place, the USA lost to the Canadians 118:127 after overtime and finished the tournament in fourth place. Canada, on the other hand, won its first ever World Cup medal on Sunday in Manila led by star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points, twelve assists) and top defender Dillon Brooks (39 points).
However, the Americans are qualified for the 2024 Olympics with their World Cup result. Another team is expected in Paris. There is speculation about the return of players like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum. The slightly older superstars Stephen Curry (35 years old) and LeBron James (38) could also celebrate a comeback for the Olympic Games.
The final between Germany and Serbia is also on the program in Manila from 2:40 p.m. CEST.
